Blackhawk opened up for Phil Vassar on Friday
night. They played all of their big hits including “Goodbye Says It All”
and “Every Once in a While.”

If you don’t like great country music, a good dose of polka
served with kolache’s, then you weren’t in Milligan, Neb. for their 30th
June Jubilee this weekend.

The weekend started with country music band Blackhawk who
had several big hits in the early 90’s before Phil Vassar, who topped the
charts with his number one country hit “Just Another Day in Paradise,” took the
stage.

Saturday’s events included the annual Rooster Run,
volleyball and softball tournaments. The highlights of the afternoon
included the annual pork rib and chicken wing cook off in the beer garden along
with the car show downtown.

Pink Kadillac played great dance tunes from the fifties
through today in the beer garden Saturday night.

Sunday started with a Polka Mass and breakfast before the
grand parade which had a theme of “Sowing Seeds of Greatness for 150 years.”

With the hot temperatures the crowd was ready to cool down
in the beer garden and listen to the Milligan Czech Brass Band before the
Czechlanders took the stage.

The weekend concluded with the annual auction and drawing
for a new pick up.

Phil Vassar was the headliner at Milligan’s 30th
June Jubilee on Friday, June 9.

What a beautiful day for a car show and my there were some really nice cars, there.

Great polka music!!

Roger Becker and team made a good showing in the BBQ ribs and wings contest in Milligan.

tractor pull. Ensley Stahl was giving it her full effort on Sunday
afternoon.

Lilly Kassik put a giant kolache in her little mouth to
win the kolache eating contest for the 8 and under age group.
